If you could get a 2nd car as a weekend car/project, what would it be? Somthing under $35k in todays market.



M6 for me

The silver 68 Dodge Charger with the Viper V10 motor. I can't find any pics of it but it was on one of the car shows TNN runs on weekends. I think Car and Driver did a feature on it. Some one hook me up with a pic!

1963 1/3 Chevy Corvette with the split back glass. Now that's a rarity. Either that, or a 1946 Chevy flatbed pickup. Saw it for the first time in the movie F.I.S.T. with sylvester stalone. Wanted one ever since.

One of those drove by me yesterday on the way home from work. Same color. Engine sounded sweet.

Most likley was a kit, but still cool nonetheless.

Yeah, you won't see an original on the road. They usually go for 1/2 mil or so and there aren't many.

Yeah, something close to 2 original 427s... and your price is about right...


About 35K for a replicar. A buddy is doing a stroked 351 W (408 CI) and it will be $$$...
